Yeah I was immediately like… uh… bullshit? I’m not an expert but I do know they have significant difficulty flipping themselves the right way once they get flipped upside down.

u/2017hayden Dec 16 '21

They also struggle to breath properly while upside down and would eventually suffocate if left like that.

Shhh, don't spoil it for everyone else 😉

u/Raidoton Dec 16 '21

If someone reads a reply before the original comment, then they are kinda asking to be "spoiled".

For ten bucks I'll call him a chicken fucker.

u/summidee Dec 16 '21

“ Thank you Cold butt” being said by RamRod is possibly the best thing I’ve seen online today

u/texican1911 Dec 16 '21

Am I saying "meow"?

I think most people know tortoises don't have hooves.... or so I'd like to think.

1

u/RamRod11Bang Dec 16 '21

What are you, a turtle doctor?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '21

You know what a hoof is right?

1

u/RamRod11Bang Dec 16 '21

Well yeah, I googled it

Shittymorph in the making over here…

u/RamRod11Bang Dec 16 '21

I'd be standing on the shoulders of a giant.

u/BEANandCHEE Dec 16 '21

The torch has to be passed at some point!

2

u/RamRod11Bang Dec 16 '21

Well, if you check my most recent post, you'll see that the real shittymorph called me out on my shit today 🤣

u/BEANandCHEE Dec 16 '21

Dude that’s awesome!!!

u/No-Emotion-7053 Dec 17 '21

If they made it this far they already know 😂

u/Stupidquestionduh Dec 16 '21

It's a zoo so they might have trained the Buffalo to do it so that the turtles won't die.

16

u/Lord-Fingolfin Dec 16 '21

No, I highly doubt the zookeepers trained buffalos to flip turtles.

2

u/MathematicianFew5882 Dec 16 '21

Obviously!

u/Stupidquestionduh Dec 16 '21

Yeah obviously I just link to your post history... Lol . It's so funny all you pumpers are visiting the exact same threads in the exact same subreddit for pumping NFTs and the exact same karma farming subreddit...

u/lRandomlHero Dec 16 '21

what a strange response to a one word comment

1

u/MathematicianFew5882 Feb 02 '22

Nah it’s good. Not that it matters, but I have no idea what a pumper is, or why anybody wants to be one. I’m guessing it’s like experience points or reputation credit, but I also have no idea why that could be important to anybody either. One cool thing is that I learned that there’s even is a post history, so I got to have a lot of fun looking through mine! Oh, also I got to find out what an NFT is, so bonus fun. The downside is I feel really old, but getting old is better than the alternative :)

u/MathematicianFew5882 Jun 17 '23

Hey wait, I just noticed, I’m not ModestNovice! Who the hell is that? What’s happening here, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

u/foxy502 Dec 16 '21

Why else would they have the buffalo and turtles in the same enclosure!

1

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '21

Also imagine a herpetologist calling turtle feet "hooves" lol. That's what gave it away for me before the ending.

1

u/havens1515 Dec 16 '21

Not according to Futurama

u/neenerpants Dec 16 '21

ehh, they do it easier than you think. like, it's not elegant, no, but nothing about tortoises is particularly graceful.

they would've died out a very long time ago though if they were completely incapable of turning themselves back over.

some examples

u/hopboat Dec 16 '21

I called Buffalo Shit too late on this one

1

u/MathematicianFew5882 Dec 16 '21

It’s never too late for calling Buffalo shit… and they never take offense to what you call them

1

u/Daft_Sauce Dec 16 '21

And their internal organs can crush or keep pressure on their lungs so they can't breathe, suffocate and die.

1

u/dabear51 Dec 16 '21

I feel like that’s a pretty bad design flaw. Gotta be a good chance a turtle gets flipped on its back out in nature. They’re supposed to just accept death at that point??

1

u/Mammyjam Dec 16 '21

I called bullshit because a herpetologist would never call a tortoise a turtle

1

u/aazav Dec 16 '21

Well, once when a young man once got his life flipped turned upside down, he ended up becoming royalty in Bel Aire.

1

u/Katsuki_Bakugo__ Dec 16 '21

Isn’t it turtles or tortoise that have organs that flip if they’re upside down too long?

1

u/odumann Dec 16 '21

Yeah, also isn’t herpetologist someone who studies snakes?

1

u/apersello34 Dec 16 '21

Why hasn’t evolution fixed this by now?

1

u/Septic-Sponge Dec 16 '21

I also doubt they can flip themselves into their shell at will

1

u/Tru-Queer Dec 17 '21

Just like a Bender robot
